Most people think Swifties are of a certain generation, generally Millennials or Gen-Z, but a group of retirees in the UK are changing the game after forming what they call "Senior Swifties."
ITV News reports that residents at the Bartlett’s Care Home in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire have been using Swift's music as as a form of therapy.
Lottie, an online care home marketplace, launched the Senior Swifties project as a way "to debunk common misconceptions about care through music and show everyone that care homes can be the start of a new and fulfilling chapter in life."
And so the service conducted research to determine which of Swift's songs use the right beats per minutes (around 101 bpm) to help Senior Swifties "living with dementia communicate, stay connected to others, and spark memories of joy and happiness."
From there they compiled The Best Dementia Friendly Taylor Swift Songs playlist, featuring hits like "22," "Love Story," "All Too Well," "Blank Space," "willow" and "Anti-Hero."
On top of that, to get ready for Swift's upcoming UK leg of the Eras Tour, residents of Bartlett's Care Home had some fun by recreating some of her iconic album covers, such as Midnights, Lover, 1989 (Taylor's Version), Red (Taylor's Version) and Speak Now (Taylor's Version).
The residents each selected their own costumes, props and poses to match the original covers. They also exchanged Swiftie friendship bracelets, danced around to some Swift tunes and partied with a life-size cut-out of the superstar.
In an Instagram post, Lottie writes, "With the UK Eras tour approaching, Lottie wanted to highlight that being a Swiftie knows no age limits. Carol (80) even said she wishes she could 'wear outfits like Taylor Swift every day.'"
